Are the Liberals still Australia's conservatives?

“Change or die.” Those were some of the first words spoken by Angus Taylor as the Liberal party’s newly installed leader in February. But three months later, the Liberal Opposition has suffered an historic loss at the Farrer by-election, losing control of a seat in southern NSW that it held for nearly 80 years. The significance of the loss is overshadowed only by the historic victory for One Nation candidate David Farley, who becomes the first One Nation MP elected to Federal Parliament’s House of Reps.
